A tentative question: I am in possession of a Dee Dee Sharp
LP, "Cameo-Parkway Sessions," on London American, issued in
the late 70s. I was under the illusion that none of the Cameo

PUZZLING, for sure.....Swedish group, Steampacket
(aka Longboatmen), of "Take Her Anytime" fame, released
a SUBLIME 1966/67 45, "You Just Gotta Know My Mind",
written by Donovan, but NEVER recorded by him....In
1968 Dana Gillespie released a UK Decca 45, doing this
song; Donovan discovered Dana in 1965 and played on her
debut '65 7", "Donna Donna"... Various sources say that
Donovan wrote "You Just Gotta..." in 1966, but how can
it happen that US artist Karen Verros released this track
9-65, on a DOT 45(see below).

Martin,
I will post The Skyliners as soon as I see some open space in
musica. And I would love to hear Jack Bedient & The Chessmen
do this Mann/Goffin tune. (I know I said King/Goffin yesterday,
I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention). And Jan
Burnnette would be great too!
This song may have had an even bigger life than I realized. It
appears to have been done by Vince Hill, Bobby Cookson w/The
Premiers (Australia) and Frankie Price (aka Wally Rowles) from
New Zealand.

Baker Knight is quite simply one of the coolest song penners
of the Spectropop era; I'd forgotten what a great repertoire
he has. I'm looking forward to visiting his website this week
sometime if I get the chance.
Bob Lind is another extraordinarily groovy dude! Love the
Verve LP especially his rendition of "Hard Road". What about
"Remember The Rain"--has a girlfriend ever been so poignantly
and poetically dumped? And "Elusive Butterfly"--yep, a true
sixties anthem. So, so all-encompassing.....
Michael Rashkow, am I jogging your memory by reminding you that
the opening bars of The Toys' "Attack" appears to be Tchaikovsky's
March of the Wooden Soldiers (which the Fifth Estate did a whole
tune based on, didn't they?)
I've got a DJ copy of The Faculty's "Elevators, Escalators".
Don't know any more about them than that; they MAY have been
from Chicago or anywhere around the Great Lakes Midwest if
Mercury picked them up. Nice sort of Fifth Dimension/Spanky-ish
sound, a bit slower, with cool lyrics such as "Where they're all
going/No one is knowing..."

And didn't I just stay up until approximately 4 in the morning

I'd been reading the same page about 7 times.

Gouldman is also on "King of Showbiz," a remarkably 10cc-like
track on Andrew Gold's "Fraternal Order of the All" CD (J-Bird
6 1746 80146-2, 1997). Aside from Gouldman and a couple of other
guest shots, all songs are written, sung and played by Gold,
and are a far cry from "Lonely Boy." (Gold and Gouldman also
did at least two albums as Wax; I haven't heard either.) For
those who missed the discussion the first time, the "All" CD
has outstanding send-ups of/tributes to the Beach Boys ("Love
Tonight," "Tuba Rye and Will's Son"), the Byrds ("Space and
Time" - bet McGuinn wishes he wrote this!) and the Beatles
("Tomorrow Drop Dead" being the best of several). True, there's
some "psychedelic bulls***" filler, but the killer cuts (add
the 10cc/Rundgrenesque "Balloon In The Sky" to the list) are
well worth the price. Order through http://www.andrewgold.com

Very cool! "Lonesome Town," "The Wonder of You" (Ray Peterson's
version - I thought Elvis "missed it" entirely) and "Never Be
Anyone Else But You" are three of my all-time faves.

It takes many tastes to make the world go 'round. I confess to
being involved in that discussion, and stand by my opinion as
you stand by yours. Compositionally, "Attack" is "right there,"
but the chromaticism and octave leaps make it a bear to sing.
Even on a note I saw from the group, they regarded it as their
least-favorite number. (It's okay - I also confess to not
particularly liking the Toys' version, either. Sorry.) However,
just to clarify, my comment did NOT extend to the rest of the set
which in my opinion varied between really good and outstanding.
I also think their main lead singer, the diminutive 14-year-old,
is a major talent, with a superior voice enhanced by total
channeling of the GG era. I wish you'd jumped into the
conversation that night, Mark. Opinions are like noses - everyone
has one, and not all are necessarily right. Even mine!!! :-)
Seriously, you'd probably freak out at some of the stuff I like!
(And thank you sincerely for the compliment about the DJing!)

I was also impressed with the authentic classic EV mikes and
equipment they used at the gig; I'm sure the CD is similarly
credible. (Doc Rock's reviews of the earlier singles would
reinforce that impression.)

Agreed - I posted Unterberger's note because I thought it
amplified the linked article. "Elusive Butterfly" and "Cheryl's
Goin' Home" are two of my all-time favorites, and I put some
serious wear on that album, one of the few I bought new at the
time. Besides, Lind is also responsible for one of my favorite
lines: "The world is just a B movie, and I've only got a bit
part." I also thought of Lind as being more "wordful" (to coin
a term) rather than wordy - and that's not a criticism.

I'd forgotten about that; it was indeed one of the high points
of a low album. (I seem to remember one or two other tracks
which "survived" the overdubbing.) A shame, too - as I remember,
the LP could have been really good with a little more time and
care in the post-production.
Happy trails,

Dave, I had someone else make the same comment. Actually, one
thing Dave Clark cannot do is stop Mike Smith from singing
those songs--because Mike co-wrote them! Dave had the brains
to control lots of DC5 related things, but Mike co-wrote, sang
tremendously (Dave didn't do bad in duet either!) and I don't
know how many keyboardists (including even Paul Shaffer) he
influenced to play standing up.

Ron, "The River Is Wide" was a Forum 45 in summer of '67. If
I remember correctly, the new CD has more than one version of
the song. I'm not sure if any are really the exact 45 version,
but all are from the '67 era. Rydell's version is from mid '68.
As for "Lovin' Things", Frank Sinatra signed him to Reprise
because he liked Rydell (according to the ads for the song).
It was his first Reprise 45 and came out very early '68.
December's Children did a great great pop version in late '68
on World Pacific. The Grass Roots version was early '69, as
was their "River Is Wide". Maybe all these previous versions
of these 2 songs led to the Roots' versions not being their
normal top notch hit status songs?

JJ, there are a couple of CDs that have his lesser Philips 45s
on them, but not sure what the names are. I have one of them
(import). They are on Ebay all the time. Unfortunately, neither
of the 2 songs I spoke of are on them. C'mon, Universal, let's
get a comprehensive Hyland double CD at least!

I do seem to remember an interview with Paul McCartney where

does sing a line or two with that second 'please' going

Thanks to Ian for posting first on Baker Knight with his
website address (http://www.bakerknight.com) I don't know
if anyone remembers this crazy great novelty he wrote and sang
called "Would You Believe It" on Reprise. It was a phenomenally
great take-off on Don Adams doing his Maxwell Smart schtick from
"Get Smart". Released in '66, it got a ton of airplay on WLS in
Chicago and reached #33 or so I believe. I looked for this 45
for decades and fellow Spectropoper Doug Richard called me on my
radio show one night and told me someone had it for sale. I got
it and I still am indebted, Doug! Thanks! Anyway, for those who
heard and remembered Art Roberts and Ron Riley playing this gem,
I emailed Baker Knight and asked for any comments on the record.
Here's his response:
"I was just trying to come up with a "novelty" hit record. It
was just my little sense of humor coming to the fore. The
feeling was that if I could come up with a novelty hit, then I
could follow it up with something straight. Alas, none of it
worked.
Glad you liked it. So did I.
Many thanks,
Baker Knight
Thanks for a fun record, Baker!
Take care, Clark

Let's continue this one - two great names with some great 45s
behind them - not least of which, Odyssey's seminal "Native New
Yorker," "Skiing In The Snow" for The Invitations and The Beach
Girls, "Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache" for Johnny Johnson
and The Bandwagon - and these are just a few of those with
'Northern' interest. Isn't there some 'pop' stuff too? :-)

Mike,
The Toys' hits were arranged by Charlie Calello. I didn't
know that Denny also arranged. If it's not putting you on
the spot, do you know of any work he did in that area?
Sandy Linzer, in relation to his talent, got a little left
behind financially in the 60s and 70s when others of lesser
ability were sitting on huge piles of cash. He has made good
though subsequently with a vengeance. A very under-acknowledged
talent with the ability to adapt with the times. He now has,
amongst other activities, his own record label.
By all accounts, both guys were real down to earth honest to
goodness human beings.

Hi there,
I need information about a song of Sharon Tandy. My father
heard it when he stayed in London in the late Sixties and
he can only remember one verse: something like "put/lay your
head /... on my/your shoulder /..." ?!
Could that be part of "Toe Hold" or of "Hold On"?
My dad is going to celebrate his 65th birthday and before he
dies he wants to know about (and, later, to hear) that song.
Thanks in advance, Paul

There were a number of albums released at that time Ken -
Orlons, Chubby Checker, Tymes, Dovells, maybe more - and some
tasty 45s too - Yvonne Baker's "You Didn't Say A Word" and Bobby
Paris' "Night Owl" - a double sider I think; Chubby's "You Just
Don't Know" and "At The Discotheque" and things like "Slow
Twisting," the inevitable "Let's Twist Again" and "The Twist"
and possibly more - although that's all I can think of.
Decca must have had the rights at that time and as far as I know
nothing has legally been issued since. Mr Phil Chapman may have
some more info on this one.
Am I allowed to mention at this point the recently UK released
Grapevine 45 (G2K 134) which is a previously unissued (different
song same backing track) acetate version of Yvonne Baker's above-
mentioned Northern Soul Classic, in this case entitled "Think It
Over" and credited to The Chesterfields?
I dream of Cameo Parkway. I was recently exposed to The Bronzettes'
"Hot Spot" and I can honestly say it has restored my faith in music's
ability to make me jump around.

Hi Ken,
UK London must have contracted with Abcko to release Cameo-
Parkway material in the UK in the late 70s because a number of
45s and albums were issued. You have mentioned Dee Dee Sharp's
"The Cameo Parkway Sessions" and others included:
Orlons Best Of
Chubby Checker Greatest Hits
Chubby Checker - Let's Twist Again/The Twist on 45
Various The American Dream (The Cameo Parkway Story 1957-63)
Various - Philadelphia Freedom
All in great sounding mono and with well thought out sleeve
notes. Had we known then that Cameo-Parkway material would be
withdrawn from the marketplace, we would probably have bought
a bunch of them.

Hey, thanks for your response on the Faculty...you're the first
person I've run across who's heard the tune. I wonder if Al Gorgoni
played acoustic guitar on this track? It sounds like a male/female
duo and I would describe it as an easy listening pop-psych tune but
with an undercurrent of alienation from the "rat race" of everyday
life.

Terry Knight and The Pack recorded two LPs (I think) for Cameo-
Parkway before Knight gave up vocals and became full-time manager
for the band, which was renamed Grand Funk Railroad...
